Surely whatever mechanism they are using cannot overcome device encryption?

  Last I heard (see source) is that they can bypass the pinlock delay, making brute-force entry much more efficient. If you use a numeric pincode, even if 8 digits, "breaking the encryption" is well within their reach. If you use an alphanumeric+symbols password that 8 characters or longer, brute-forcing rapidly becomes impossible, even for cellebrite. A running, unlocked phone may be hacked by zero days. Encryption at rest... currently no. Any body have more details on these technical aspects ?

    What about a pattern?

      Pattern is just a numeric lock underneath(the dots that you connect represent numbers on a numpad, on Android they even used to be saved in plaintext as a pin until Android 2.1 iirc).
